After warning the foreign resi- dents to leave the town at once, in view of the imminent bombard- ment, the insurgents prepared). the attack by several air raids. The vanguard of the Nationalists! followed closely on the heels of the retreating Reds.
It is declared here that the Mar- xists have lost numerous follow- ers during the last few days all along the coast of Biscay, with the exception of the cities of Bilbao and Santander. The fading influence of the Anarchiets, it is declared, is mainly due to the fact that the acts of barbarism committed by the Left extremists have now become known among
the general population, despite the strict press censorship.
POORLY ARMED
The number of Zed troops on the northern coast is estimated at about 40,000, the majority of whom are, however, poorly armed. The morale of the Red troops, ac- cording to reports here, has been seriously affected by the recent defeats as well as by the pre- vailing food shortage.
IMPORTANT MEETING AT VIENNA
Foreign Ministers Of Italy, Austria And Hungary
Rome, To-day.
It is officially announced that the Foreign Ministers of Italy, Austria and Hungary will meet at Vienna soon. Signor Gadya, writing
the "Giornale
d'Italia," says that there is no question of forming a single Danubian bloc with the Little Entente, but the three Powers must get together and arm themselves, ready to meet any dangerous repercussions from incidents elsewhere.-Reuter.

The clock is the only one in the world for which glass records have been used to reproduce the voice. Speech is recorded simil- arly to the sound-track attached to a talking, film, except that the electric current necessary for pro- ducing the sound is brought about by means of a beam of light fall- ing on a photo-electric cell.
The clock is unique in being; practically indestructible. Where- as the tape used for voice repro- duction in speaking clocks in some other countries has to be often re-t placed, it is estimated that "Tim" will last for 500 years. If speech in the future changes as in the past 500 years, one can imagine Miss Jane Cain's "golden voice" being used for philological. les- sons in A. D. 2436,
